The fiscal year 1977-78 may be considered as the most stable period
in the history of the college. This year appeared to be the beginning of
a period of stable enrollment and perhaps a slight decline for the next
several years. Evidence to
indicate that the college may attract an increasing number of older students
who are returning to college to upgrade their occupational and professional
skills or to pursue new career opportunities. --
sharp increase in
the number of adult students and citizens from surrounding areas who participated
in non-credit courses and programs offered through the Division
of Continuing Education and Public Service. --
During the year, the science classroom facility was occupied for the
first full year. Continued need for space for fine and performing arts.
There is abundant evidence in our society in general, in our community, and
on the college campus in particular, that music, art, drama, sculpturing, ceramics,
casting, and study and practice of other forms of the fine and performing
arts will assume increasing importance in the college curriculum. --
[Much of the wording in the Summary Statement was not changed from the
previous year, 1976-77. An oversight?] --
New programs in Oceanic Education and Labor Studies --
Circulation of library materials increased by 58% over the previous
year. The total circulation of 20,054 items was the largest number
since fiscal year 1972, and the non-reserve circulation of 14,930 was the
highest in the history of the institution. --
Imperative that we construct,
as soon as possible, a vocational-technical facility. This facility
is needed to provide instructional space for the allied health programs and
space for the continued expansion of technical career programs needed by
employers in the community. --
Significant salary increases during FY 78 and FY 79. However, the continued
increase of economic inflation has, and is, taking its toll on the
salaries earned by all college personnel. Therefore, increased salary for
academic and classified personnel is still the most pressing need at this
time. --
Even though the academic performance
level expected of students is reasonable, the number of students suspended
for academic reasons has increased during the past several years.
